A big-name Burton store is looking to give something back to its customers by offering would-be musicians a platform to perform on.

Music store HMV, based in The Octagon shopping centre, is looking for eager local bands who will get the chance to sell their own music in the store.

Budding musicians will get the chance to see their work featured alongside CDs by the likes of Ed Sheeran, Camila Cabello and Ariana Grande on the shelves of the music and entertainment giant's store in the town.

Bands, singers and musically inclined people from across Burton and South Derbyshire are being encouraged to pop in store and find out more.

Assistant manager of the Burton store Marc Riley welcomed the move, and explained it is a nationwide scheme being implemented in all stores.

Mr Riley said: "People can come in, take a look at a legal document and bring it back, agree on a price for it to be sold then we can sell it in store.

"I'm not sure about this store, but in other stores they've actually then had the bands come in and do perfromances."
